Maintenance-as needed
Use the following suggestions about cleaning
and lint removal to maintain your dryer and
keep it operating efficiently.
Cleaning a clogged lint screen
Laundry detergents and fabric softeners can
cause a residue buildup on the lint screen. A
clogged lint screen can extend drying times.
Clean the lint screen every six months or more
frequently if it becomes clogged due to a
residue buildup. Use the following method:
1. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
2. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid
detergent.
3. Scrub lint screen with the brush until all
residue buildup is removed.
4. Rinse with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean
towel and replace in dryer.
